Default No more axle hop!

Put on these traction bars bout six months ago. Thought i'd test em before i could brag about them. Bofore the install my truck fairly often did one wheel wonders or hop on strait takeoff. What brand are they? Blackice1 i guess since i biult them myself! No more hopping now! And on strait takeoff it plants the tires nicely. If i do brake loose its with both tires 90% of the time. If i did build another set i would have some improvements but for a project that took less than 3 hours its well worth it. Let me know what you guys think!No more axle hop!-just-me-005.jpg

Got the parts from local farm supply and I work for a commercial welding business so got the metal i needed pretty cheap too. I'm between Lubbock and Odessa area. I would consider building more in my spare time for a fair price.
